Description
‘The Warrior’s Code’ is the fifth studio album by the American Celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys. It was released on 21st June 2005 through Hellcat Records.
Drawing from influences both ancient and contemporary, ‘The Warrior’s Code’ is an intense fusion of all things Dropkick Murphys. A complex distillation of classic punk, Celtic folk and American rock ‘n’ roll, this album puts the band’s deep diversity, blistering intensity and profound sincerity on full display. Featuring everything from upbeat stomper tracks like ‘Sunshine Highway’ to poignant narratives such as ‘The Last Letter Home’ and classic odes to hometown legends like the title track, ‘The Warrior’s Code’, which is dedicated to Massachusetts boxing legend Micky Ward. The album also features one of the band’s biggest and most well known singles, ‘I’m Shipping Up to Boston’, which the band originally released on the ‘Fields of Athenry’ single, although it was re-recorded for ‘The Warrior’s Code’. The band released the song on their own as a single in 2006. However, it became a hit after being featured in the Oscar-winning movie ‘The Departed’ and its soundtrack.
